My son bought this play set for his young children when he moved into our home.  They loved it.  We live in a high wind area and at first worried about whether it could withstand the strong gusts of wind.   Made it through one year without any problems.   My older grandchildren loved to play on the swing set as much as the little ones.  It doesn't tip when heavier kids swing very high.  Love that.  The only problem is he took the swing when he moved.   I'm going to have to invest in a Lifetime play set myself now.
